DDP – Digital Data Platform simplifies SAP landscapes
Manual deployments are
expensive and error-prone
Costly governance of
industry policies
Auditability of manual deployments
requires forensic analysis
Automation and infrastructure change of TDI-compliant solution is complex
Different applications need different hardware
DDP
Cisco (UCS, ACI) +
SAP (HANA,
HANA Vora)
+ Hadoop)
• Accelerated and automated deployment of SAP S/4HANA; SAP BW, edition for SAP HANA; SAP HANA; SAP HANA Vora
• Scale SAP without complexity
• Monitoring & automatic remediation
• Seamless, largely automated application-centric management of physical, virtual, and cloud integration with full visibility
• Network behavior is aligned with application requirements
• Security and compliance are continuously assured
Challenge: Different applications have different infrastructure needs
Solution: Let software understand those needs and influence infrastructure

Signal detection: • Anomaly detection • Novelty detection – incorporate new norms into signal detection
algorithm • Change point detection – determine when a change has occurred in
the underlying signal Examples:
• Operational problems: website performance • External changes: Google changes policies • Shipping problems: Zip code changes / pricing changes

Precisely What Can Be Automated?
• Infrastructure Provisioning and Configuration • Selection of compute and storage resources • Selection of fabric paths interconnecting
compute and storage nodes of the topology • Tracking and provisioning of resources by
tenant and deployment • Tenancy with minimal connectivity and data
access between components • Server attachment to network and storage • Resource Management
• Compute resources (blade and rack servers) • CPU architecture, speed, and memory
characteristics • Nics, HBAs, uplinks, VLANs, MACs, IP/Subnet
pools, VSANs, zones, WWNs
• Storage resources • Volumes, LUNs, storage groups • Ports, uplinks, VLANs, VSANs
• Network Fabric • EPGs, L3, L2, Contracts, Tenancy, Isolation,
Filtering, QoS • Paths across the fabric
Software Deployment and Configuration –Add/remove/update OS services •Configure startup/shutdown
–Operating System configuration •Kernel configuration •File system mounts (block and file) •Network interfaces and routing
–Artifact installation and staging of installation files • (certs, templates, config files, …)
–Install/update/remove and configure software •Specific version •Update to new version
–Configure inter-component dependencies across entire topology •Endpoints •Credentials
–Identity •User/group membership
–Compliance •Enforce deployment and configuration constraints
–Configure consumption of external services •E.g. connect to an existing DB
–Provide endpoints to other services
